Gonna level with you. This is first mouse (that we know of) I've had in my house in my adult life. Tons of cats around.

Ya. Its living under our fridge (hear it at times) and eating in pantry, so dont want a rotting mouse there

The poison is designed to dehydrate them so they go outside

Right know, I know where it is. If it moves, looking for water, I would worry where it went.

Don’t let it go too long. Mice can reproduce every 20 days and have litter of 15

That's plan D (after my next attempt)

Buy a bunch of the largest size sticky pads and make a barrier to the pantry . .

We call those hippy traps in my house. I want this mouse's severed head on a stick for all to see.

The only thing that worked for us was Tomcat poison. They all died and we never smelled them.

less is better. just spred a bit of peanut butter on the trop to cover the metal but not piled on

Try a chocolate chip. The mouse will have to gnaw instead of lick it clean.
